64. The beginning of the edge - wine tasting

The rules of the competition are very simple. The host pours out thirteen different kinds of wine, puts them on the table one by one in black porcelain bowls, divides them into two tables, and then asks Su Jinnian and Liu Qingmei to taste the different wines. Category, write out one by one according to the number plate. The wines on the two tables are the same, but the order is out of order. Whoever can taste different wines in the shortest time and have a higher correct rate will win.

Although these girls were very dissatisfied with Su Jinnian and tried every means to make things difficult for her, after all, they were all spoiled young ladies spoiled by their families. Real talent.

As Liu Qingmei said, learning how to taste wine is a necessary skill for a famous lady. This kind of competition is quite popular for the educators of the school, and many people present also want to know, the one on the stage can be called "City A" Does the eldest daughter of the "No. 1 daughter" of the Su family really have such real talents and knowledge, enough to be worthy of being the leader of a famous family?

You know, before this, the reputation of this eldest lady has not been very good. Even with the backing of the Su family, everyone is only afraid of the power behind her, but they are suspicious of her, and cannot sincerely accept her. Believe in her own character and talent.

If you want to completely change everyone's impression of her and admire her from the bottom of your heart, there is only one way, and that is—

Unless she was able to complete all subjects with excellent grades during her studies at Yinyao College, and won the "Star of Athena", the highest honor for girls.

Athena, the legendary **** of wisdom in the western world, represents the masculine part of female personality, that is, the energy from women. She is an agile and cheerful goddess model, full of wit and creative talent, symbolizing compassion, wisdom and spiritual strength.

The Star of Athena, as the name suggests, is a goddess-level figure who stands out among tens of thousands of outstanding female students, and exists as a model for girls in the whole school and even in the city.

It can be said that this title is the honor that all girls dream of, but at the same time it is also the most unattainable honor, talent, appearance, character, family background, appeal - all are indispensable.

From the establishment of Yinyao College to the present, there are only a handful of female students who have won this precious honor in the history of the school. Not to mention, the previous "Star of Athena", Ms. Nangong, is now the number one diplomat known both at home and abroad. Madam is also one of the leading figures in domestic philanthropy.

It can be seen from this that this honor is really far away for Su Jinnian, but at the same time, it also reflects the deep "high hopes" that everyone places on Miss Su, the youngest leader of the ASC Group ".

Naturally, Su Jinnian is unaware of the ardent expectations others have for her. She doesn't even know anything about the "Star of Athena", and even if she knew about it, she wouldn't be interested. The only thing that can arouse her interest right now is winning. The 30 million bets you can get after the challenge—

Hey, if there is a pie in the sky today, there is no way to stop it. If someone eagerly wants to send her money, how can she refuse?

"Then, next, please get ready, the two students, and start counting when you hear the bell."

Two tables were laid out in a straight line, facing the audience. Dozens of cameras took 360-degree shots from different angles a few meters away, making the game extremely transparent, and there was no possibility of cheating.

Liu Qingmei stepped on her pair of high-heeled shoes more than ten centimeters and still stood out from the crowd on the stage, confident and confident.

Su Jinnian lowered her head slightly, her long bangs covered half of her face, she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, only the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if there was a bit of disdain .

As soon as the bell rang, the two picked up the drinks on the table and drank one by one, tasted them, and then wrote down the types of drinks they tasted on the cardboard.

Probably because they were all born in wealthy families, they have developed good self-cultivation since they were young, their movements were fast but not impatient, and they did not rush to show embarrassing gestures.

Out of conceit, Liu Qingmei's performance seemed a little slow.

This made some onlookers who knew how powerful she was could not help but complain: "This Liu Qingmei is really too much. Who doesn't know that her family made a fortune by buying alcohol? The first few generations of the family were alcoholics, and they followed their father all over the world when they were young. She drank more wine than we drank vegetable soup, and every time the 'Appreciation of Famous Wines' became her solo performance! Hmph, it's even more honorable to bring it up than wine tasting, even if she wins!"

"I've heard that the content of this competition was planned to be decided by lottery at the beginning, but that Miss Su, who was so crazy, directly asked the three of them to come up with the best items for the competition..."

"Uh, is that really the case? Then her tone is really loud!"

"That's right! Let's wait and see, how capable she is? Hey, tell me, if she loses, it will be so embarrassing..."

Several people were discussing, and they couldn't help turning their eyes to Su Jinnian, but they saw that she looked relaxed, calm and composed, showing elegance in her gestures, as if she didn't care about winning or losing at all, she was just simply tasting fine wine.

Under the stage, Ximen Lie leaned against the railing on the second floor, looked away from Su Jinnian, turned around the stage, and moved to the man in the off-white suit sitting in the middle of the judging panel. The gentle gaze gradually turned cold, with gradually increasing hostility.

If his guess is correct, those "pornographic photos" posted in the school exhibition frame last time are probably not P's, but real events.

The man who didn't show up in the photo is probably An Sanshao who has been pestering Su Jinnian all this time.

Ximen Lie had some doubts before, but he wasn't sure, until that night when he found out that Su Jinnian's child was not a virgin. From childhood to adulthood, there are very few men close to Su Jinnian. Except for An Xirong, the nominal "boyfriend", I am afraid that no one can take advantage of Su Jinnian. What's more, Su Jinnian treats An Xirong His attitude is more or less vaguely ambiguous.

damn it!

Thinking of Su Jinnian's tactful love under another man, Ximen Lie had the urge to kill someone!

As if sensing the awe-inspiring killing intent, An Xirong raised his head involuntarily.

The gazes of the two collided in mid-air, reaching each other's pupils.

An Xirong didn't have much contact with Ximen Lie, so she didn't know anything about the things between him and Su Jinnian, but it was a little strange that a man with his background would treat Su Jinnian differently? Moreover, he who never likes to meddle in other people's business has helped Su Jinnian more than once. But it's strange, but An Xirong didn't pay much attention to Su Jinnian's indifference to him later.

It wasn't until yesterday that Tang Yanran suddenly called and told him to be careful of this man Ximen Lie that An Xirong had a vague premonition. Now that he was blatantly provoking him with such a victorious gaze, An Xirong suddenly felt He felt a kind of unhappiness that his own territory was trespassed by others, and he looked at the other party with a bit more sharp eyes.

On the stage, Su Jinnian, who was concentrating on the competition, said that he didn't notice the two people who were secretly competing, and reached out to grab the last porcelain bowl.

Just when her fingertips touched the edge of the porcelain bowl, Liu Qingmei's high-pitched voice suddenly sounded from another table: "Okay, I'm done!"

Hearing this, there was a small commotion in the audience, and all eyes were on Su Jinnian.

But seeing Su Jinnian still smiling, he took a sip from the porcelain bowl unhurriedly, then picked up a pen and wrote a line on the card.

"I'm fine too."

Seeing that both of them finished writing and walked to the side, the host immediately came to the stage: "Now, Liu Qingmei and Su Jinnian have both completed the tasks. From the time point of view, it seems that Liu Qingmei is slightly ahead. I don't know if she is correct or not. Is the rate also higher? Next, we invite Professor Zhang from the Arbitration Association to come on stage to announce the names of these thirteen kinds of alcohol!"

At the end of the host's speech, the tone of voice was habitually raised, thereby implying that the audience in the audience should applaud. However, the people present were all focused on the result of the game, but they did not understand her reminder, which made the host very embarrassed. The microphone coughed twice, then raised his hand and turned to Liu Qingmei: "Please Liu Qingmei, please report the names of these thirteen kinds of wine according to the serial number."

Under the spotlight, Liu Qingmei raised her chin proudly, first glanced at Su Jinnian, and then took out the card and began to read: "The first type is Chateau Lafite red wine, the second type is Remy Martin Louis XIII cognac , Mouton Chateau dry red wine; the fourth type, Yanghe Baijiu, Blue Classic Dream Blue; the fifth type, Aven Manor Sauvignon Blanc dry white wine; the sixth type..."

After reading this, Liu Qing frowned slightly, and seemed a little uncertain: "Ordinary table bar! The seventh type is Remy Martin XO Champagne Cognac; the eighth type..."

Hearing Liu Qingmei quickly report so many types of wines of different brands, the people in the audience couldn't help sighing. It really is a child who has been soaked in wine barrels since childhood. How can ordinary people taste so many flavors? Even if you taste it, how many people can remember the brand and match it one by one?

After listening to Liu Qingmei's answer, Professor Zhang from the Arbitration Association first smiled and nodded, expressing his praise, and then announced the result: "According to Liu Qingmei's answer, except for the sixth guess, everything else is correct!"

"Wow! It really is someone from a winemaking family! It's amazing!"

"Twelve of the thirteen guesses are correct! My God, how did she do it!"

"Haha, I think Su Jinnian is going to lose this time. She is slower than Liu Qingmei. Unless she guesses everything, it's impossible for her to win!"

…

Hearing the constant comments and praise from the audience, Liu Qingmei was naturally very proud. She turned around and raised her eyes to look at Su Jinnian, her eyes were full of conceit and provocation—even if she guessed wrong, this result was close enough to perfection , she didn't believe that the woman in front of her would be stronger than her!

Sensing the strong gaze of the other party, Su Jinnian obviously also heard the discussion in the audience, but he didn't raise his head to look back at Liu Qing's eyebrows, and only slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.

Impossible to win?

Haha, why don't you underestimate her like this! It's so easy to defeat such a conceited and innocent guy!

Since all the data are written on the card, even if Liu Qingmei gives the "standard answer" in public, it will not have any impact on the test results. Under the watchful eyes of the public, Su Jinnian has no way to revise the answer sheet. What she has to do , All I can do is read word by word what I wrote on the card before.

Seeing Su Jinnian took the microphone, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze and entered a white-hot stage.

Although Tang Yanran believed in Su Jinnian from the bottom of her heart, she couldn't help but clenched her fists and became nervous in the face of such a severe situation on stage. An Xirong and Ximen Lie had already looked away and turned their attention back to Su Jinnian. When it came to Su Jinnian's body, one phoenix eye was slightly shivering, full of expectation, and the other eagle eye was deep, implying doting.

"The first type, Remy Martin Louis XIII cognac, 1919; the second type, Mouton Chateau dry red wine, 2001; the third type, Aven Manor Sauvignon Blanc dry white wine, 1989; the fourth type... "

Every time Su Jinnian said something, the people in the audience couldn't help but gasp, and Liu Qingmei's complexion became darker.

This woman... is she going against the sky? !

she, she, she...

Not only did she tell the brand and type of wine, but she even tasted the year? ! Do you want to be so exaggerated? ! This is cheating! Is it absolutely cheating? !

"...the eleventh type, which is the one that student Liu didn't guess right just now, hehe, let me tell you what it is. It's 40% Standa Empire Diamond Vodka, mixed with 5% Shaoxing Nurhong. Such a top-notch wine is actually called an ordinary table wine by you, if your father finds out, won’t you be very disappointed?”

Hearing this, Liu Qingmei couldn't help but her eyes trembled, and she was speechless in surprise for a moment.

Ever since Su Jinnian began reporting the year, she had already predicted that she might fail in this competition. When she mentioned the two mixed wines, Liu Qingmei had to admit that not only did she fail, but she also lost. Very thorough.

The stunt of wine tasting is something she has always been proud of. She has full confidence and confidence in her ability, but now, she has lost to an opponent whom she underestimated.

"However, I can't blame you for this, because the rules of the competition did not say that the two wines can be mixed. I admit that you are very talented in wine tasting, but it's a pity that you are too conceited, and you don't have the self-confidence you should have. Just Based on your ability, you can't fail to taste these two wines, but you dare not break the rules and bluntly say that this is a mixed wine, but simply classify it as an ordinary table wine."

Every word of Su Jinnian pierced her heart. While Liu Qingmei was surprised, she couldn't help admiring the other party's vicious eyes.

She was right. In the eyes of sommeliers, it has always been taboo to mix different wines, so even if she tasted it, she would subconsciously not think about it.

Listening to Su Jinnian reporting all the wines all the way, not only the audience, but even Professor Zhang from the Arbitration Association was a little silly, it took a long time to realize, took the microphone with shaking hands and explained: We have not provided the year information for these wines, but since student Su has brought it up, please allow us to take a moment of everyone's time to verify the production years of the eight wines, please wait a moment..."

After everyone waited anxiously with mixed feelings of doubt and anticipation, Professor Zhang once again took the data sheet to the stage and announced the final verification result into the microphone—

"It has been verified that the answer given by Su Jinnian did not make any mistakes. In other words, if this is a wine tasting test, the score that Su Jinnian got would be—full score!"

The professor's voice echoed in the large hall over and over again, shaking everyone's eardrums and stimulating everyone's nerves!

An Xirong looked at the smiling woman under the spotlight, she couldn't help but raised her eyebrows and shook her head, raised her hands and gave her a few applause.

In an instant, led by him, the audience erupted in thunderous applause. Everyone excitedly turned their eyes to Su Jinnian, and their impression of her gradually changed a lot.

This hidden young lady is not as unbearable as the legend says!

Of course, amidst the ebullient and warm applause, there is still mixed with evil thoughts and unwillingness, jealousy and hatred just around the corner.

Ten steps away, Liu Qingmei still maintained a condescending posture and looked at Su Jinnian, but now she could no longer maintain that strong aura. The woman in front of her didn't show any excitement or complacency even though she won the competition, she still had a faint smile on her face, elegant and calm, as if all this was just a dispensable game for her.

The contempt for this competition that emanated from her bones should have made her extremely annoyed, but the strange thing was that Liu Qingmei suddenly felt that the woman didn't seem so annoying anymore.

It seems that those applause and cheers originally belonged to her, and those pride and conceit were originally synonymous with her. More importantly, after winning the competition, Su Jinnian did not take the opportunity to mock herself, even the last words she said , are all suspected of justifying herself - she is so offended by herself, but she can still have such a bearing, if she keeps haggling over every detail, she will only appear to be more childish and rude.

Facing such an opponent, Liu Qingmei felt for the first time...convinced.

Then, she was conquered, and some people were irritated.

Seeing Liu Qingmei returning in a disastrous defeat, Tang Xiao felt annoyed that iron could not be made into steel: "Huh! I heard you swear so much before, and thought you were so powerful. What... you only have so much ability! It's really useless!"

Yan Jingyi raised her eyes coldly, snorted softly and said nothing, but her disappointment was already evident in her words.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Liu Qingmei hesitated to speak, knowing that she couldn't persuade them, so she didn't say anything.

Angrily glaring at Liu Qingmei, Tang Xiao raised the corners of her mouth and sneered: "At the critical moment, I still need Miss Ben to step in! Look at me!"
